Save 80 Percent at Restaurant.com at These Notable Eateries

Update: Restaurant.com raised its discount from 70 to 80 percent through Wednesday, September 22. Save big at restaurants like 3030 Ocean, Trina, Chef Allen's, D. Rodriguez Cuba, and so much more. Promo code after the cut.

Restaurant.com is a site that lets you purchase $25 to $100 gift certificates to local restaurants at reduced cost. It's a novel idea with just one problem: Most restaurants on the list let you redeem only one gift certificate at a time. So if you're eating at, say, the Melting Pot, a $25 certificate purchased for $17.50 on restaurant.com isn't going to save you more than $7.50.

But every so often, the site throws a deal like this around that makes it worthwhile: Today through Sunday, you can purchase gift certificates on restaurant.com at 70 percent off, so long as you enter a promotional code. That means $25 certificates as low as $3. Any way you paint that, it's a pretty good deal.

The promo code you enter at checkout is:

SHARE (new code)

Easy enough.

There are some pretty worthwhile restaurants where you could save $22 $23 or more (much more) with this offer.
